Overview

East Indian Rosewood has graced the curving sides of countless guitars with its rich dark tone and gorgeous striped figure. Its density and stability also make it an excellent candidate for turning, and its high resin content allows you to attain a fine polish. These turning blanks are available in an assortment of sizes for bowls, platters, carvings, bottle stoppers, chess pieces, tool handles, table legs, spindles, finials, candlesticks and whatever else your imagination can conjure up!

Due to high demand and limited supply, we cannot always guarantee that this item will be in stock. Turning Blanks come rough sawn to nominal thickness and are coated with wax.

I bought 6 blanks to turn for my new chisels. Only one had a small defect on it but it was on the end. No problem. Very hard wood but with sharp tools no problems turning them. My handles came out LOOKING GREAT. Beautiful purple hue to them. I sanded them smooth with 3 grits of paper and just rubbed paste wax and polished to a nice shine. Great wood. If you need blanks these are the ones for you.
